I really *must* be more clear on these points.......

I received the following, demonstrating a glaring hole in
my counter (part of which is above):

*You write: "AT&T only sells UNIX for the [6300+,7300,3B2]"
*What about the PDP-11/44, PDP-11/70, VAX 750, VAX 780, VAX 785,
*3B20, 3B5, 3B15, SystemV/VME, Amdahl UTS, the various Motorola-
*and Intel-ports that you need AT&T licenses for, etc?

To clarify, the *original* context of this discussion was
IBM PC/XT/AT and various and sundry clones.  I erred when I
took up the cudgel in not similarly restricting the context.

Now, *within the context* my offer to research any AT&T 
UNIX (tm) Product Announcement *sent to me* still stands.

(Thanks for the assist)
